Nikola Vaptsarov’s memorial house in his native town of Bansko opened for visitors in the 50s, right after the poet was awarded posthumously with an international prize for peace. Eventually the museum collection expanded to become impressively complete.
Two video rooms in the museum allow the screening of lectures and films in various languages. A rich ethnographic collection from the beginning of the 20th century is also part of the exposition.
The house became the poet’s home after 1912. His relatives aided the creation of the museum. His mother, sister and brother donated most of Vaptsarov’s personal belongings, including the clothes he wore before his execution in 1942.
Visitors are welcomed every day from 8am to midday and from 2pm to 6pm.
